Bill Gates is primarily known as the multi-billionaire who Microsoft, the
company behind the most popular computer operating system known as Windows.
With this massive wealth, he has retired from leading Microsoft and now
instead focuses his money and time on furthering genetically modified
technology, geoengineering, experimental
vaccinations, and preaching about how Monsanto is the answer to world
hunger.

It should come as no surprise, then, that Gates owns 500,000 shares worth 23
million US dollars (or more) of Monsanto stock. The very same company that
has been caught running slave rings in Argentina in which workers were
forced to work 14+ hours a day while withholding payment, has used their
massive finances to fund organizations that literally fake FDA quotes to
support GMOs, and of course peddling through GMOs that have been linked to
numerous health concerns.

This is not even taking into account the farmer suicides that occur around
every 30 minutes due to Monsanto’s failing GMO crop yield bankrupting
small-time farmers in India’s notorious ‘suicide belt‘.

Bill Gates Funding Corporations Caught in Child Slave Rings

And if that’s not enough, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has even
teamed up with Cargill to pump GMO soy into the third world. Cargill, of
course, is the the 133 billion dollar corporation that also has been found
in direct violation of human rights laws. Cargill was sued by the
International Labor Rights Fund for trafficking children from Mali and
forcing them to work on cocoa bean plantations for around 12 to 14 hours
each day without pay, food, or sleep. The company even continues to purchase
cotton from Uzbekistan, where it is well known that child slave labor is
used in the cultivation.

Bill Gates himself even filmed commercials for Monsanto’s GMOs, propping
them up as the ‘solution’ to world hunger despite even the United Nations
admitting that GMOs cannot fight hunger as effectively as traditional
farming. Headed by an entity known as the International Assessment of
Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development (IAASTD), a
team of 900 scientists and researchers studied the issue of world hunger.
The results of the major study were very simple: 900 scientists agreed that
GMO crops were not the answer to the world hunger, and revealed this in 2008
— long before Bill Gates began claiming that GMOs were the answer while
ignoring this readily available information.

Even the Union of Concerned Scientists examined the true yield of GMO crops,
only to find that the GM crops do not produce increased yields over the long
run — despite their excessive cost and extreme danger to health and
environment. The lack of scientific support behind the GMO crops was so
startling to the Union that they documented all the details in a 2009 report
entitled ”Failure to Yield.”

Watchdog groups have criticized Gates’ support of these corporations after
finding out about his massive funding. One such group, a part of the
Community Alliance for Global Justice, stated:

“Monsanto has a history of blatant disregard for the interests and well
being of small farmers around the world… [This] casts serious doubt on the
foundation’s heavy funding of agricultural development in Africa…”

So why is Bill Gates, a man who is propped up by the media as an angel of
philanthropy, pumping millions (if not billions) into these operations? And
why is he claiming that GMOs can fight world hunger when we know this is not
true due to decreased yields and other problems?

I Asked Bill Gates Why

In a unique opportunity to ask Bill Gates himself why he has purchased
500,000 shares of Monsanto behind the scenes (expelled into the news thanks
to tax information) and teamed up with Cargill to expand GMOs worldwide,
myself and several others asked him ourselves.

Yesterday Gates opened himself up to questions from online users via the
social sharing site Reddit, in which he posted an open interview of sorts
known as an ‘Ask me Anything’ post. This is essentially an invitation for
questions that the subject will answer via text. While I had a large number
of questions for Gates, such as if he actually eats GMOs himself, I simply
asked him:

“Why did you buy 500,000 shares of Monsanto stock?”

Unsurprisingly, the comment received a large degree of feedback. Users asked
Gates to please respond to the question, and several others posed similar
variations to Gates that all went unanswered (as to be expected). Some
quotes from users in response to my question included:

User Lawfairy replied: “I wish he’d answered this one — to me, this is one
of the most curious things about Mr. Gates, whom I otherwise respect as one
of the foremost humanists of our generation… Mr. Gates’ relationship with
Monsanto is, in my mind, simultaneously the most morally troubling thing
about Mr. Gates”

Another user posted (with links intact): “Would you be willing to take some
time to give us some insight with your investments in Monsanto? Despite
having the headlines of “ending world hunger”, this company has done some
despicable things in the past 100 years and I don’t believe they have the
public’s best interest in mind. Having a single company or entity trying to
“control”, “manipulate” or “own” the world’s food supply, in my opinion, is
not the way to end world hunger.”

Another user answered with: “Because he is supporting the Bilderberg group!”

None of these received a response nor did the many others I could not
include in this article. The answer, it seems, is to bring this topic to the
mainstream. The very same mainstream that seems to think Bill Gates is some
sort of philanthropic super star that can do no evil. I am opposed to all
wrongdoing at every level, and I find it absolutely disturbing that someone
funding the GMO agenda and slave-labor-linked companies has been met with
applause.
